Veterans Suicide Prevention and Care Enhancement Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to offer yearly, evidence-based training on preventing suicide among veterans to community care providers within 180 days of becoming law. The VA would keep a public "preferred provider list" of providers who complete the training, or similar outside training that meets military health care standards. Providers could ask to be removed from the list, and the VA would review the list each year. The VA would also report each year to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees on how many providers completed training, who is on the list, and how veterans use it.
